Capital Projects

Helping Canada's E&C industry deliver high quality work — on time and on budget

For Canadian engineering and construction (E&C) companies, managing their capital projects or those of their clients has a direct impact on the success of their business — but so too does the strength of their business have a direct impact on the success of the individual projects. Having the right organization, people and processes in place is paramount to ensuring that your E&C company is managing its own or its client's capital projects effectively from a finance, risk and project management perspective.

But for work to be completed on time and on budget, capital projects need a dedicated approach to project governance. This is especially true for assignments that are high risk, high value, high profile and with the potential of failing to meet objectives. Capital project governance touches many aspects of what E&C companies do, from managing risk and addressing scheduling and supply chain issues, to finding ways to drive down costs and address tax issues and opportunities. Capital projects are about more than just the successful managing of engineering and logistics; they are about the successful managing of your business overall.
